Cask at Pigs Ear 2017, day 1 - Hackney, London. Pours clear golden-brown with a light, creamy head. The aroma holds artificial caramel, and little else. Light sweet flavour, with more artificial caramel and chocolate, some floral notes. Light to medium bodied, oily, with fine carbonation. Lingering artificial character in the finish. Eh, not great.

Cask at Pig's Ear 2017. It pours clear brown with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet, cookie dough, caramel, chocolate, toffee and brown sugars. The taste is slick, sweet, toffee, charred wood, chocolate, caramel, leather and black tea with a sweet, oily finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A touch sweet perhaps, but not bad.
